I can run the Ice Devils just fine as Mictlan or Caelum, too. The Niefel Jarl is certainly Jotunheim-specific, but the rest aren't.

For your first game with SC's I would suggest not using arcoscephale, as it is one of the weakest races for supporting SC's.

Bullcrap. Arco has great access to churning out a huge variety of wonderful elemental equipments, including the Jade Armors: You'll easily have a WE mystic capable of making those, an FE mystic that can give you charcoal shields, LOTS of astral folks to make those starshines, AMAs, coins, pendants....

And Arco has healing priestesses! Afflictions are a non-issue. Arco is by far one of the BEST nations for supporting an SC! What are you smoking? You must not have seen terribly many Natarajas....

The lack of blood/death magic restricts lifedraining weapons, and similarily many of the best SC's are from those two magic paths.

Taking 2-3 Death on your pretender is all you need to jumpstart the death process: Ench-3 gets you Revenants, summonable D1 mages. Staff them, and they're D2 mages, can summon more revenants, make more staffs, or forge wraith swords. Arco can do this just fine, thanks. I'm having quite an excellent time with SCs as Arco, thank you very much.
